Positive: It's clear there was a lot of passion behind Zi-O, and the legend Rider tributes definitely got better as the show went on.

Negative: Honestly, I've got a few negative things I could say about Build despite it being my first and favorite series. I agree with Kurona about Kazumi being horrible. His fetishistic obsession with Misora is creepy and uncomfortable, and it's stupid how the show makes a big deal of her finally calling him by his real name even though he never refered to her as anything other than Mii-Tan.

Second biggest issue is the idea of power levels. It's a silly concept, and makes fights seem cheap. Whoever has the highest power level wins, just expose yourself to more gas if you want to get stronger. I get that the constant escalation of power relates to the show's themes of war, and that they've gotta sell toys, but it still took me out of it sometimes, exemplified by the time Evolt dropped out of the sky, checked announced everyone's hazard level, then disappeared.

Last big problem isn't quite as bad. The pacing in Build was odd. Things moved at a lightning pace up untill the second tournament arc, slowed down for a few episodes, went back to the lightning pace afterwards with Evolt taking over, then after Pandora box was activated and the end of the world seemingly started, everything stopped again for what felt like ages for the Lost Bottles to be collected and for the papa Katsuragi arc. After that, the last few episodes were fantastic again, but the pacing in Build could be inconsistent, and I remember some people feeling like during the faster parts, it was moving too fast.
